HELPFUL HINTS
Gaining More Light: One large window or group of windows provides better light distribution than several smaller windows placed apart from each other.

Gaining Ambiance: Placing windows higher up in your wall will allow greater light infiltration, giving your room a lighter, brighter feel.

Gaining More Space: Skylights and venting roof windows can turn an old attic space into a new, sunny office, bedroom, or playroom!

Gaining Privacy and Light: Decorative windows (like arches and circles) that are installed close to the ceiling can preserve your privacy while letting in a good deal of light.

Gaining the Feeling of Luxury: Adding a patio door that opens onto a deck or balcony can make you feel like you are living in luxury as well as give you a superior light.

Gaining Air: Venting windows on opposite or adjacent walls will let air circulate better and also let humidity escape.

Choosing a Manufacturer
A large consideration in your choice of window should be to look at the window companies themselves. What do you look for in evaluating the manufacturer? Each manufacturer usually has some unique feature to set them apart from the others. They will all claim to be the best and most truly try to produce a quality product. You must look at the small details in the production of their windows and at their reputation for servicing problems. Never let price be your only guide! Timely service from a manufacturer adds value to your purchase. Most people find the extra cost of windows from a company offering great service to be well worth it when considering the aggravation they are spared!
